In most matters, I'm not an ethnocentrist. I'm all for the melting
pot that is the United States. The broad array of cultures that have
been brought to our shores have contributed immeasurably to the success
of America. The notion of requiring people to speak English only is
laughably absurd to me, and decrying culturally-specific holidays,
including foreign days of independence (e.g. Cinco de Mayo), as a loss
of the American identity is just plain stupid. But there is one point
of purely white-bread American custom on which I must insist. There is
one decidedly red, white and blue... (more)

An afternoon sizzling in temperature presented a haven of welcome relief at
the Artists' Debut at the Cheryl Hines Studio in Los Angeles on September 19th. Original works
exhibit in a splendid fashion. Ms. Hines had remarkable pieces available for
admiring and for sale to take home for display in your home or office.

As you
may have guessed I'm not referring to the Artist "Cheryl Hines" in Beverly Hills.

... heat lamp in front of me—thereby blocking the exit route
for the chairs to my left. Ugh…I began to ponder SF’s Burning Man culture. A culture described in a recent Guardian article (recommended read) as a “year round culture with its own unique social
mores, language, fashion, calendar, ethos, and infrastructure”. Its
proponents, one of which echoed this sentiment to me at the party, say
that you can live Burning Man all year long. But while the fur boots
and bee scooters made it back, something got left. At least at this
party. Maybe it’s just too... (more)

...was expressed and Conga Mike on Congas was brilliant along with Sonship Theus on Drums, Allaah-dain on Saxophone and Neil on Piano expressing the very core of the song. Latif continued holding down the fort on Bass in his steadfast and inventive style.

The musicians made music in a fashion not done before and as will never be done again. This is an essential element of the heart and spirit of Jazz.

There was a poignant tribute by Andrew Jerald to his Mother. The tune was called “Miriam”. It was filled with images that portrayed space and time in the music, touching... (more)

I realize the risk I’m running by writing this. It’s one thing to wax
poetic on the fashion tragedies of other men that I see running around
and still try to maintain some air of masculinity – but it’s another to
speak out women’s fashion. But after spending years as a male
cheerleader and even longer as a dancer, I’ve given up on expecting my
sexual preference to be obvious from the things I do. It wasn’t
that long ago that I finally realized why women spend so much time,
money and effort on shoes. I remember the maddening mystery of it as an... (more)

Sonja Dunson, a former Miss Michigan, wrote, produced, and co-starred in the film You Can't Buy Love, due out soon. Via phone, Sonja discussed the film, the music on the soundtrack, and being blacklisted by Lew Wasserman.

Tell me about the story and creation of your film You Can't Buy Love.

I have been in the business since I was a little girl. I've had my SAG and AFTRA cards since I was eight or nine years old. I did everything I could do in the state of Michigan. I'm from Detroit. I was Miss Michigan in the Miss USA Universe contest. I came to Los Angeles. After I arrived,... (more)

...hair and eyeliner are apparently not enough. Because while sitting in an Irish Pub (yes an actual Irish pub - the only place you'd be less likely to spot the common L.A. douche than a Men's Wearhouse) on the north side of town this weekend, I was confronted by a brave new step forward in fashion dumbassery - the coordinated kung fu headband. At first, I thought it was some sort of joke - as though some group of kids were having a theme party and the pub was simply a stop on their bar crawl. Sure they wouldn't fit in, but that was sort of the point of such an adventure anyway, right? I ... (more)

...myself rethinking this entire arrangement and wondering how much of it was really worth the privilege of being able to say “I live in New York”. But there were also many moments when I realized how phenomenal the city was for it’s art, history, music, cultures, entertainment, fashion, food. And it was true, this city is not for everyone, especially the lazy, faint of heart.

The railroad style apartment that I shared with my room mate was modernly updated, clean, cutely furnished in 21st century IKEA with the residue of 75 years of former residents. And the kitchen... (more)

When I set out to write a weekly blog for a whole year, I truthfully
didn't expect an appreciable percentage of my pieces (if any) to be
about fashion. I had no fashion sense to speak of until I was thirty
years old, and even then it took me a few more years to really get
comfortable in what I was wearing. As a point of reference, a law
school colleague (who was a year behind me) once told me that when he
saw what I was wearing in class during his visit to the campus (I was
29 at the time), he thought to himself "if that guy can do it, I know that I can." True story.I'm
not certain... (more)
